''Port Sherry'' (''Puerto Jerez'' in Spanish) is a webcomic by Pedro Arizpe. It began in 2009.
The strip is a [[GagPerDayWebcomics Gag-Per-Day Webcomic]]. Some strips are dramatic stories. Others poke fun at fiction, tropes, and day-to-day life. There is also the occasional slice-of-life strip depicting Arizpe, his wife Sara, and their pets. While the comic is in English, some strips are available in Spanish.
The comic, as well as other mirror links, can be found [[http://portsherry.com/ here]] (in English) and [[http://puertojerez.com/ here]] (in Spanish). Compilation releases are also for sale on Gumroad.
